These gloriously meadowed 15.4 acres (with stunning Gunk and Catskill mountain views and spectacular sunsets) are the artistic canvas for an elegant Craftsman style home built c.2007. The main residence features a kitchen designed for the art of fine cuisine, a custom tiled Arts & Crafts wood burning Rumsford fireplace, a “live-in” screened room with terrific vistas, and fine artisanal detailing throughout. The main bedroom vistas are breathtaking. A continuous-current "Endless" swimming pool and shower room invite you to the home's warm lower level. Additional appointments include: an enchanting storybook cottage outfitted for guests with its own kitchen and bath + half, a screened porch and large bluestone patio with pergola providing shade, PLUS 3 additional buildings all exhibiting a consistent Hudson Valley vernacular theme- an artist’s STUDIO, a comfy one-room writer’s COTTAGE OR OFFICE, and a workshop/barn shed. The stunningly masterful, well established landscape is designed to provide color, ambient sounds and natural interest all year long. It is all about the details at this TRULY ROMANTIC country idyll. Please note; gross square footage includes finished, heated space in the additional buildings for guests, painting studio and writing/office.
